Fave Beauty Tweets Of The Week

#11: Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this. Instead, oily skin gals can use toner as moisturizer.

#12: Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference.

#13: The skin around the eye contains no fatty tissue and is therefore very thin and susceptible to wrinkles. Special eye creams are formulated to ‘thicken’ this area and keep it sturdy

#14: Your skin care routine should be simple and include cleanser, exfoliation, moisturizer, spot treatment and sunscreen.

#15: Natural skincare  products should be kept out of direct sunlight to avoid discoloration & get max shelf life.

#16: Sunscreen is the most important part of your skincare regimen, even during winter. The number 1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage!

#17: And remember:  your sunblock should be applies at least 15mn before going into the sun.

#18: Our patented emulsification technology makes it possible to create nano-sized particles of products more effective when massaged into the skin. Hence the name of our Nanoemulsion cream!

#19: Vitamin B will help promote a healthy skin tone and glow. Time to stock up!

#20:  Keep your glow in this scorching heat: Start drinking three litters of water every day. Since water flushes out all impurities from your body.

How important are the ingredients in your products?

 

I don’t know if you are like me but I love learning about the latest and most effective ingredients from books, magazines, and television.  Therefore, every time I go out and buy a new product, I faithfully turn to the ingredients’ section to make sure that this moisturizer or serum contains the most popular ingredients on the market right now.

However after meeting with my friend today, I think she brought up a very valid point which is that the effectiveness of a certain ingredient also depends on its PH level, particle size, concentration percentage, and how it is mixed with other ingredients.  One ingredient might have its maximum benefit at a PH level of 5 while another is at PH level 6.  How do you combine the two ingredients in a product to maximize these benefits?  Some companies try to add as many ingredients as possible to attract consumers without really knowing if combining all these ingredients will actually be beneficial.  So it is really up to us to be smart and ask the right questions or to ask for samples to try on our skin before we buy something.
